compatible with your device. See your local computer or electronics dealer for purchase information.
• To connect a Mac that includes only a Mini DisplayPort, Thunderbolt port, or Mini-DVI port for video
output to the projector's VGA video port, you need to obtain an adapter. Contact Apple for compatible
adapter options.

Projector Placement
You can place the projector on almost any flat surface to project an image.
You can also install the projector in a ceiling mount if you want to use it in a fixed location.
Keep these considerations in mind as you select a projector location:
• Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface or install it using a compatible mount.
• Leave plenty of space around and under the projector for ventilation, and do not place it on top of or
next to anything that could block the vents.
• Position the projector within reach of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.

Projection Distance
The distance at which you place the projector from the screen determines the approximate size of the
image. The image size increases the farther the projector is from the screen, but can vary depending on
the zoom factor, aspect ratio, and other settings.
Use the tables here to determine approximately how far to place the projector from the screen based on
the size of the projected image. (Conversion figures may have been rounded up or down.) You can also
use the projector Throw Distance Calculator at epson.com/support (U.S.) or epson.ca/support (Canada).

You can connect the projector to a variety of computer, video, and audio sources to display
presentations, movies, or other images, with or without sound.
• Connect any type of computer (Windows or Mac OS X) that has a USB port, standard video output
(monitor) port, or HDMI port.
• For video projection, connect devices such as DVD players, gaming consoles, digital cameras, and
smartphones with compatible video output ports.

Connecting to an HDMI Video Source
If your video source has an HDMI port, you can connect it to the projector using an optional HDMI cable.
The HDMI connection provides the best image quality.
1. Connect the HDMI cable to your video source's HDMI output port.
2. Connect the other end to the projector's HDMI port.
Note: The projector converts the digital audio signal sent from your video source into a mono analog
signal for the internal speaker.

Note: If you connected a game console, it may take a few seconds for your image to appear. To reduce
the lag time, set your game console's output signal to a progressive signal of 480p or 720p. See your
game console documentation for instructions.
Parent topic: Connecting to Video Sources
Connecting to a Component-to-VGA Video Source
If your video source has component video ports, you can connect it to the projector using an optional
component-to-VGA video cable. Depending on your component ports, you may need to use an adapter
cable along with a component video cable.
1. Connect the component connectors to your video source's color-coded component video output
ports, usually labeled Y, Pb, Pr or Y, Cb, Cr. If you are using an adapter, connect these connectors
to your component video cable.
2. Connect the VGA connector to a Computer port on the projector.
3. Tighten the screws on the VGA connector.
If your image colors appear incorrect, you may need to change the Input Signal setting in the projector's
Signal menu.
Note: If you connected a game console, it may take a few seconds for your image to appear. To reduce
the lag time, set your game console's output signal to a progressive signal of 480p or 720p. See your

Connecting to a Video Source for Sound
You can play sound through the projector's speaker system if your video source has audio output ports.
Connect the projector to the video source using an RCA audio cable.
Note: If you connected your video source to the projector using an HDMI cable, the audio signal is
transferred with the video signal; you do not need an additional cable for sound.
1. Connect the audio cable to your video source's audio-out ports.
28
Page 29
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the projector's Audio port or ports.
Note: To add additional sound, connect your video source and speakers to an audio video receiver,
then connect the receiver to the projector using one of the receiver's compatible video outputs (an
HDMI connection provides the best image quality, if available). You can also connect speakers to
any video source that has its own speaker connections.

Connecting to a Computer for USB Video and Audio
If your computer meets the system requirements, you can send video and audio output to the projector
through the computer's USB port (preferably USB 2.0). Connect the projector to your computer using a
USB cable.
Note: A USB connection may cause a delay for content requiring high bandwidth, such as movies. An
HDMI connection is recommended for projecting movies, video games, and other home entertainment
content.
1. In the projector's Extended menu, set the USB Type B setting to USB Display.
2. Turn on your computer.
3. Connect the cable to your projector's USB-B port.
4. Connect the other end to any available USB port on your computer.
5. Do one of the following:
• Windows 8: Click EPSON_PJ_UD in the upper right-corner, then select Run EMP_UDSE.EXE in
the dialog box that appears to install the Epson USB Display software.
• Windows 7/Windows Vista: Select Run EMP_UDSE.EXE in the dialog box that appears to
install the Epson USB Display software.
